Retrospect Yourself!
summary
Argues that team outcomes hinge more on behaviour than tech and that self-awareness improves by feedback and seeing your blind spot. Demonstrates four pen-and-paper exercises — Weather report, 4L, Mad/Sad/Glad, Sailboat — plus the Johari window to map relationships, outputs, emotions and behaviours, and a simple 4A action template to pick one concrete change. Exercises aim to produce one committed, testable action rather than a long wish list.
